** CANADA. 346 MCW kHz, Aug 6 at 0616 UT, dash and YXL, my #1 Canadian
beacon, SiouX Lookout, Ontario, JBA vs summer noise level, harbinger
of improving fall conditions? In nightly bandscans, not detectable
even a carrier since June 25; 500 watts (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 15034 USB, Aug 6 at 1457, Trenton Military not off the air
but JBA, timecheck still two minutes slow, ``1455``. One hopes that in
matters of life & death, Canadian forces be a bit more accurate (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 1680, Aug 6 circa 1930 UT, peaking at crossroads of US81
& US 412 = S Van Buren and W Owen K Garriott in Enid, rock music and
promo of classic rock, did not hear ID as Virtual DJ Radio this time,
but sounds like the same as usual; for the record (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** SPAIN. 15500, Wed Aug 6 at 2159, token English from SNR is still
OFF the air to N America, the other three as usual audible direct,
15390, better 15520 S8/9+10 and best 17715 S9/+20, going from jazz to
TS and English opening, preview features to be about genealogical
tourism, and a festival 8-10 Aug for The Boss, ``Born in the U-S-A``.
2202 news: 80th anniversary of American A-bombing of Hiroshima and
then Nagasaki. 140,000 killed in Hiroshima then or later; more Gazans
killed by a truck, 188 dead of famine [is that all?]; Drumpf threatens
EU with 35% tariff, reduced to 15% effective 7 Aug; about
asylum-seeking miners/minors in Canarias.

2205 BOMBSHELL announcement: REE`s token English of 3 x 30 min per
week is about to become even more token. From Sept 1, only once,
Wednesdays at 10 am UT - presumably meaning on the radio, but you can
still listen online, or satellite? at other times. Go to www.RNE.es -
Will need to listen again to get exact wording.

They will hardly need TWO English announcers any more. 2206
genealogical tourism, new? thing to visit ancestral locales (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.023, Aug 6 at 2158, no signal direct from VOT,
erroneous at Emirler, so I concentrate on SPAIN, q.v.; but is on the
air at next check 2208 already with the 2-minute multi-lingual ID
filler reel, so there must not have been much olds; 2210 music. There
is an annoying het/squeal not a constant pitch on the plus side,
roughly 11785.4, same on both my antennas. At 2230 into UTwente when
measured, S9+55, same squeal, so I think it a transmission defect
rather than QRM, erroneous at Emirler.  2238 & 2246
``always-by-your-side`` promo twice with music between. 2253 s/off as
if 17620 at 1230, something`s always awry at Ankara. 2254 IS. 2256
pause and restart IS with extraneous German IDs, erroneous till
2258.5* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2306 monitoring: confirmed Tuesday

** U S A. 5085, Aug 6, George McClintock informs me that this WTWW
transmitter has been behaving well lately, so prospects are good for a
WORLD OF RADIO appearance UT Saturday at 0300 - but a lot could happen
in ~54 hours (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Dead air from all these WRMIs, Aug 6 at 0638, 0643: 5850 S9,
5950 S9, 7570, 7780, 9455; 9955 possibly JBM. All scheduled of course,
for `Classic Redneck Radio`. Also supposed to be on 5800, 7730, off or
too weak to tell. Something`s odd at Okee (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 7235, Aug 6 at 0642, still that JBA mystery carrier
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
